The Crestawald fortress - top secret for 60 years - is now an impressive witness to Swiss military history. Construction of the Crestawald fortress began in September 1939. By 1940, the huge artillery guns were ready to fire. The aim of this bulwark was to block the north-south transit axis through Graubünden. Since 2000, the entire fortress artillery works have been open to individual visitors or for guided tours. The fortress has a seminar room, overnight accommodation (for groups only) and a restaurant in the "Festungsbeizli".
